How to unlock the Be the Knife achievement in RESIDENT EVIL 5 - Definitive Guide
There are several opportunities in the game to do this. One of the best ways possible is on Chapter 2-2, the train station. There are plenty of crossbow Majini in the area, and chances are that Sheva will be too distracted by the dogs to ruin your opportunity. Get close enough to one of the Majini so that your knife swing area touches near the tip of their crossbow and not them. Keep swinging the knife so that its hitbox immediately deflects the arrow shot at you. It's not always a guaranteed deflect depending on when the knife animation starts and ends however, so keep trying if you're not successful the first time.
This isn't really difficult but it does come down to timing.
Mission 2-1 with the shipping container maze introduces enemies with crossbows and flaming arrows.
Keep slashing your knife (Hold ), and if possible time it to deflect the arrow.
Note: Keep your distance to make it easier and prevent Sheva from shooting them.
Chapter 2-1 will be the first time you encounter a Majini with a crossbow, there isn't really a trick here. Just get your timing right and this achievement will be yours.
This trophy can be slightly tricky. The area where the armoured truck tries to run you down in 2-1 is a good spot to attempt this trophy. As with a few of the other trophies, you'll want to take away your partner's weapons to prevent them from killing everyone. Once you've taken care of the truck driver, pop out and snipe every enemy that isn't carrying a bow, more will soon arrive from the back area so take care of them too. There will be a total of three Crossbow Majini standing once you've dealt with everyone else. It's best to keep at least two of the Majini alive or the sole survivor may fire at your partner the majority of the time instead.
Press to equip your knife and to adjust the angle. Just before the arrow hits you, press to deflect it. Here's a video showing how it's done in this level:

And you can get it in Survival, on the ship, at the very beginning. There you are immediately attacked by enemies with crossbows.
Run out so that enemies can see you. Clamp and wait until they shoot at you.
